WORDS BY THE ARTIST ABOUT HIS PRESENTATION
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Human being is the most powerful fact comparing to any materialistic ones on earth. Once he exploits his emotion, brain & spiritual nature, he could indeed transcend to future. Through spirituality and use of brain man is “unlimited” entity, some mysterious creature of some magical nature. For the reason my 1st solo presentation has got the title “Essence of Mystery”. In nature some facts are visual and some are beyond, even sometimes we just can sense or realize some feel and fact but we can’t express. In this aspect we try to find symbols to represent the state. How mysterious we are and everything is! The Universe, earth, life and here I am breathing, writing, thinking everything is just perfect but I wonder where the source of this power is! This mystery (spiritual and materialistic bond) leads me to the next level of my life and art. Here in my art the materialistic states and spiritual ones have been blended identically to a twin in human nature via my own perception by using "symbol" along with "reality". Thus, most of all has been contemplated to the intricacies mystery (feel, realization, perception) of life in
various segments of my art.

I'm not going to pretend that those entire queries can be answered in one short article or in few presentation of art! But I think we can get closer to some certain pieces of the truth than we might realize such an awe-inspiring. Hope my perception would inspire or help to know ourselves better and transcend ourselves to future.

ART ANALYSIS BY JAVED JALIL
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Man’s struggle to reach the sublime, raging consciousness holding back the darkness of the soul where the white horse from the angelic crysta
l dawn,
penetrating light takes the shape of a spiral movement, reaching towards an infinity of greater awareness; the bit moment of robust energy delving into the timelessness of the very core blink of ‘now’, moving in and out to the past and the future of an individual time-traveler of the thinking mind. Forces of opposite polarity contradict and try to balance the surviving self into regeneration, the inner conversations of the self with voices with in, seeking placement of ‘I am’, a contemplation and an urge to feel the forces of nature, the man sits with the climax of unknown certainty as the sand clock pours the particles of the moment within the psychedelic chess board of dreams. The symbols of the sea horse expose the mystery of the water world, the green of life breathe out the air of possibility and the cosmic egg of the flying species of the space; a woman scratching the canvas of dreams of fearful doubts, as the comedic horse looks on with amusement and surprise.


As an artist, Tarak Mahadi has created visions of his thoughts from his conscious willingness to create awareness, as he feels his way into the jou
rney of understanding the self. Self is an integral part of the existing material world and the intangible. His paintings are visionary realism where he creates his thematic contents of the magical world and the super-conscious, contrasting it with physical elements of the reality as seen. Mahadi has a desire to comprehend the forces of the supernatural or the mystic aspirations of energy. His paintings depict more his intentions, and at times the parable process, to realize these ecstatic stages of cognition. His paintings do carry the association of symbols to identify the journey of this retrospection, by commuting the seen and unseen, as he structures the realities of illusion and the so-called real, or acknowledged reality. His sources of thoughts identify with works of certain magic realism and at times, a depiction of the structured world dividing the spaces of animated pictorial visibilities. His modeling of classical romanticism visual effects is expressed through the rendering of traditional pictorial beauty. Portraying the product of his inner process, the thought of metaphysical otherness and the mystical experience - he has tried to express these contents within his paintings and at times has merged himself, like social romantics, with the thematic adventures of photographic imagination . He also has paradoxical avenues of putting and adding elements into his visuals to bring out or create a versatile reality. He approaches the conflict of the material and the ethereal, a quest to reach a configuration of clarity and transcendence, to penetrate the presence of the alchemy.
